Love the aesthetic of Tracksmith, so much running gear is in obnoxious colors or patterns. Love how classic this stuff looks. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive and that they had better size availability. I am a medium and it’s very hard to find anything in stock in my size, unless I buy it the day it comes out

@dazdarren9926 3 жыл бұрын

Turnover tights are my favorite of several brands I’ve tried. Very comfortable and the right amount of warmth. I wish the NDO jacket wasn’t quite so expensive. Hard to justify the cost for a jacket that will only be worn 4 months of the year

I love Tracksmith and finally decided to buy the NDO tights (not the ones you got). The reflective stripes came off in the first wash and I was disappointed in how cold they felt for -5C in the groin area. (I returned them). I know they change the style every year so I may buy them again, but I have to say I was disappointed in this year. Especially because they cost me CDN$300+ Thanks for your reviews! Love the channel

The Harrier short sleeves - running Tees made of merino - are incredibly useful for spring/fall days that are a little cool for a normal Tee but you don't want to go with long sleeves. I never would have thought of a wool short sleeve but they work quite well. They sell out in popular sizes at the start of Spring so start checking for them now.

Living in Boston I'm lucky in that I can go by the trackhouse anytime. I lucked out 2019 during their in store silver medal sale. Got about a dozen pieces for a steal (like 80% off)! Missed out this year cause of the pandemic but hopefully this summer the store silver medal sale will return!

I have been wearing Tracksmith Bislett pants for 4 years. I would not run in winter in any other garment. I admit the one pocket does not hold a lot but I wear a waist belt anyways, so no bother. I highly recommend them, they are good in rain, snow, cold. you can even wear them as lounge pants if you like they are amazing and tough. Build quality is great !

i wondered about the merino lined shorts they have, a rarity among running shorts only sold by Smartwool and Icebreak (and Stoic I think). I just got my first pair of smartwool shorts last week, and I'm amazed by them. These merino liner shorts are perfect for 40degrees or higher. I wear regular running shorts if its higher than 55 degrees, so having "winter shorts" are appreciated. I do wear tights if it gets colder.

I have a jacket from icebreaker with a similar composition to this -- windbreaker with a merino inner layer. I happened upon it for $20 at Sierra and it might be the best thing that happened to me this year. It's perfect for winters in the midwest! I'm obsessed with merino for running. I have a bra comprised of merino wool from Oiselle and it's FREAKY how much i can put that thing through while it just keeps smelling pleasant! I've thought about experimenting with it to see how many wears it takes before it takes on a smell but I've lacked the commitment.

Enjoy your video reviews. I do have a question on the Turnover Tights. I have always worn shorts in winter months but lately it's been getting too cold so I have been thinking of getting some winter gear. I heard about the Turnover Tights and I noticed that it doesn't have a drawstring. In your opinion, did you ever feel that they were falling? I sometimes run in the rain and I don't want to feel like they might fall. How does the elastic hold up over the years? Thank you in advance, Joe

Tracksmith is pricey as everyone points out, and they do sell out on stock, making purchases on sale hard to find. My suggestion is to take advantage of their new customer discount on first orders; order everything you’re interested in since returns are easy. That’s what I did and I loved everything I ordered as it turned out, but was happy for a discount. I only returned one item. Quality is excellent, fabrics are extra special as is detail in design. Plus, I wear the items daily so they are not just for running. In fact, they are some of my favorite things to wear casually due to comfort, pockets and classy understated looks.

@Ywaarde 3 жыл бұрын

This seems like a nice jacket for when its cold, maybe a little snow but the fact that it is not water proof at $300 makes it look very overpriced to me. Do you have go-to gear for when there is a heavy downpour? Nice waterproof jackets from Gore and Salomon are also around $300, any experience with those?

@kofuzi 3 жыл бұрын

I think you may be underestimating just how well this jacket performs, but you are certainly correct that it costs a lot. I don’t think the jacket is for everyone, but I will also caution against trying to analyze it from a rain jacket perspective. It’s akin to people making a dollars/per mile analysis of a racing shoe. But if you’re primary value driver is winter waterproofness, get the gorewear r5 infinium

@Ywaarde 3 жыл бұрын

@@kofuzi I guess my perspective is that if a running jacket is $300 I expect it to check certain boxes which this jacket does not. It seems more like a nice lifestyle jacket you can run in rather than a really good running jacket. I do like it that certain brands are trying to position themselves as premium running brands like Rapha and MAAP are for cycling gear since I think there is a demand for it. But while the gear from Path Projects exhibits the thoughtfulness and "niceness" that warrants the premium you pay, Tracksmith doesn't (yet), to me.

All very nice but it's no Ronhill. That much for a jacket is kinda mad, especially when it doesn't even have a hood, isn't waterproof and doesn't even have taped seams. That's £225 for a jacket that wouldn't be accepted as mandatory kit in most races. Pockets on the inside of the jacket sound lovely, until you realise that the point of the jacket is to keep you warm in winter and that to access those pockets you need to undo the zip and let a load of heat out. I have nothing against spending a lot on running jackets, I've done it, but this one feels like the styling took up a lot more thought time than the functionality of it.

Tens of thousands of runners--hundreds of thousands maybe--drop four figures when it's all added up on fly-away marathon weekends, some of them several times a year. A lot of them are looking for other ways to spend more on their running interest, whether they know it or not. It makes sense that brands would step up with super-premium goods for them to buy. It's a truism in other market sectors, and probably applies as well to running gear, that the people who are ready to click "Buy" on top-shelf items such as this aren't the people who leave comments on KZfaq videos. IOW, this stuff isn't meant for dirtbag runners like myself. But when a rich sibling asks what we'd like for Christmas or a birthday, ...
